Colorado Springs

Yesterday we headed into Cheyenne to check it out. Not much going on but downtown was busy, mostly at the restaurants. We stopped at a Sinclair station and got diesel for $2.75, that's the lowest we've seen in awhile.

While driving the downtown area we found another Sanford's Grub and Pub and we each tried something different from out last visit. Jim got a Crocodile Cristo and I had a club sandwich...again we enjoyed the food and the restaurants are filled with wonders. The ceiling of this one had sports pennants. Oh, they had 50 different draft beers!

the rest of our day was very relaxing, we came home and took a nap! had coffee when we got up but no dinner.

Our drive today wasn't a long one so we didn't hurry our departure this morning. Still, we were on the road around 0945 and the skies were really depressing.

About an hour into our drive we stopped at Camping World so Jim could pick up a Sewer Solution. Perhaps you full timers know what that is.

We're in Colorado! See the mountains?

The skies did start to clear up

But if you looked over towards the mountains you could see dark clouds.

Passing through Denver, now I can say I've been there! :) It's quite big and I'm sure there's lots to see and do but that would require some research and planning before I'd go back.

Castle Rock, from what I could tell from I-25 you go there to shop.

As we arrived at the Air Force Academy Fam Camp it started raining and by the time we got to our site it was a good steady, gentle rain. One of the first things we did was send up the dish. With all the trees we weren't sure if we'd get a signal for TV and internet. Once the signal came in Jim got busy. Bless his heart, he set up in the rain again.

We had an early dinner and then when the rain stopped we went for a walk taking Boo along. A couple of chores, showers and some TV.

A pretty sunset, suite dreams.

Lunch at Sanford's Grub and Pub

Have you ever eaten here? The decor is out of this world!
It must cost a small fortune to decorate they way they do and there is more than one. Check it out http://thegrubandpub.com/default.aspx

The outside has large and small decorative elements, Daffy on the left

and Bugs on the right

Inside is just mind boggling. As we were waiting for our table this is what I looked up at

left of there. see the gas pumps? they're everywhere and of every age

one of the waiting seats

after we were seated this was what I saw

My Cajun Cobb Salad

Jim had a cheeseburger, a whopping 1/2 pound of sirloin

The food was good and we could not finish our meals and it was a pub so we both had a draft beer.

After lunch we went to Staples where we picked up a new Canon camera for me! Hopefully my pictures will get better....

Did some looking around in a sporting goods store then went to Safeway for fuel, $2.86 for diesel. Back home we had some coffee and played with the camera
